    Is it that time of day where we just start throwing around crazy accusations?
    Is there any content you can not play with just your sub? Are they failing to produce new armour and glamour sets every patch?

    I have an issue with Cash Shops if the developer is failing to produce content at a regular basis. FF14 doesn't do that. They give as a huge number of new sets, mounts, minions and emotes every 3 and a half months save for expansion launches and very rare occasions.

    There is a difference between gouging you customers and trying to establish additional revenue streams. Ever asked for a new feature for FF14? The money for that has to come from somewhere. How would you suggest they make additional revenue to cover additional features?

    Three lets talk value since you brought up what we received for our monthly sub. How does 7 equal out to what we have received. This comes up with the moogle mount. It is only 30 dollars. One second on amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0..._i=468642&th=1 So a full game is equal to a mount. It is not about companies making money. It is about abusing customers. I am sure you will never get that. I feel sorry for people who have little understanding of value. It is why companies can charge 300% mark up for medicines.
    These aren't the same as medicines. Medicines are usually a necessity. Games and everything tied to them are luxuries. People can get by very easily without buying them and if people weren't paying what they are charging they wouldn't be pricing them that way.

    No one is being forced to buy Cash Shop items. They are completely unnecessary to play the game.
